State Sen. Joe Leibham has filed an open records request with the Sheboygan Area School District for details about an ominous phone call received Tuesday by Dick Hiers Northeast Standard. Leibham believes the caller, who told a station clerk it was a bad idea for the station to do business with the senator, made the call from a phone registered to the school district.

In his first weekly update to his constituents in Congressional District 22 following a malicious mailing to his Boca Raton congressional office containing a non-toxic white powder substance, Congressman Allen West was in no mood for mincing words. Even before the incident, it’s no secret that West has been the target of the Democrat apparatus in both Washington D.C. and here in South Florida. During last year’s election cyle, West sustained continuous personal attacks, including the public disclosure of his Social Security number by the Democrat Party in an opposition mailer, all which were deflected by his ‘teflon-like’ demeanor and...

Palm Beach Post Staff Writers Updated: 2:45 p.m. Friday, April 8, 2011 Posted: 1:51 p.m. Friday, April 8, 2011 A letter containing white powder and a threat was opened at Congressman Allen West’s campaign office in the city this afternoon, prompting a HazMat response and an FBI investigation, officials said. Firefighters were called to the office, near the 2000 block of North Federal Highway, about 1:30 pm, said Frank Correggio, city fire-rescue spokesman. FBI agents arrived about an hour later. Staffers in West’s office in Washington and West Palm Beach said they were aware of the threat but didn’t know...

Bomb Threats: Wisconsin News Omits That Katherine Windels, Woman Charged in Making Death Threats Against Republican Senators, Is a School Teacher (video) So much for the age of civility and balanced media… when will the leftists at MSNBC or Media Matters cover any of this? In Wisconsin, a 26-year-old woman has been charged in sending death threats, via emails, to WI Republican senators because of their support of Gov. Scott Walker’s budget bill. What Wisconsin news sources have conveniently omitted in much of their coverage is that Katherine Windels is a SCHOOL TEACHER. A pre-school and kindergarten teacher. Click here...

Rochester, N.Y. - An email sent Friday to state lawmakers threatened violence for politicians, school children, the wealthy and reporters. The letter, Titled "Time to Kill," was written anonymously. "My group is going to do everything possible to provoke terrorist attacks on New York by al-Qaida, and by Tea Party nut cases, and by religious extremeists, lone wolves and anyone else who we can provoke into picking up a gun. We want to create anarchy," states the writer. Politicians are not the only ones mentioned. "If we attack a school bus full of kids, it may have no effect on...

Albany, NY (WBEN) -- State Police in the Capitol region are investigating a series of threatening emails that were sent to numerous state and local lawmakers in Albany on Friday. The emails are "similar in content," according to investigators. Troopers are not officially releasing any further information, citing the sensitivity of the investigation. But an Albany-area television station obtained a copy of the email Friday evening, from Assemblyman James Tedisco. (Click here read the entire text of the email, courtesy of WTEN-TV). [email Text near the bottom of the WTEN page that opened] In it, the writer expresses outrage over...

Investigators on Friday looked into an additional violent threat by email — this one against Gov. Scott Walker — allegedly sent by the same Cross Plains child care provider already charged with emailing death threats to Republican state senators. The threat against Walker, emailed Feb. 17, uses language including "watch your back Adolf Walker" and "we will not hesitate to punch where it hurts." It says it's from Katherine Windels. Journalists discovered it as part of a review of thousands of emails sent to Walker's state account in response to his controversial budget repair bill. The Department of Justice was...

ON WISCONSIN It is not the Tea Party that riots in the streets, throws trash everywhere, makes death threats, and tries to tear down society. It is the Democratic Party and all of their leftist groups, including the union thugs, lawyers, and teachers.

Montreal police are investigating a student who made threats against a conservative club at McGill University, even though university officials determined the student’s threats about jihad and wanting to “shoot everyone in the room” were harmless. A spokesman for the Montreal Police Service told the Toronto Star they take the threat allegedly made by Haaris Khan seriously. Khan attended a viewing of the documentary “Indoctrinate-U,” sponsored by Conservative McGill, a student organization affiliated with Canada’s Conservative Party. During the viewing, Khan is accused of making death treats using his Twitter account.

On the day that the bill passed the Wisconsin Assembly effectively ending 50 years of collective bargaining in Wisconsin and eviscerating the ability of public unions to raise money through dues, a new front opened in the battle for the future of Wisconsin families. Bagpipes blaring, hundreds of firefighters walked across the street from the Wisconsin Capitol building, stood outside the Marshall and Ilsley Bank (M&I Bank) and played a few tunes — loudly. Later, a group of firefighter and consumers stopped back in at the bank to make a few transactions. One by one they closed their accounts and...

The Democrat unions have given us a clear view of what defines them. All any sensible person needs to see is the video of these protestors to rightly conclude they are savages. Their behavior speaks volumes. There are jobless people hurting all over the country and these cretins are acting like their plight is that of early 20th century Russian peasants because they may have to pay a small percentage of their health benefits instead of the tax payer paying all of it. They represent the lowest common denominator society has to offer and they deserve to lose their jobs...

So this is what the new age of civility, where we are all carefully watching those horrible and violent conservatives, looks like. The Wisconsin DOJ is investigating a rash of death threats against Wisconsin Republicans after the GOP representatives passed a bill stripping collective bargaining privileges from many state government workers. Of course, when a few Democrats received violent threats about health care reform, the response was lavish attention in the left-leaning blogosphere, culminating in sweeping accusations towards all conservatives of complicity in violent and abusive discourse. Liberal luminaries sagely shook their heads sadly then and after Tucson, wisely lecturing...

When President Obama, The New York Times, MSNBC, Sheriff Dupnik and many, many others called for a change in the tone of political discourse, who knew it was actually a call to ramp up the violent imagery, thuggery, and now, even vile threats?The Wisconsin protests have been chock full of comparisons of Republicans to the worst elements in history, threats to reporters and counter-protesters, mean-spirited rantings, and police-defying stormings of government buildings. Now, we get actual, specific threats to lawmakers and their families. Congratulations liberals! Youâ€™ve really shown you can step it up from Palinâ€™s â€śtargetedâ€ť congressional districts!

The Department of Justice is investigating threats against state GOP Sens. Scott Fitzgerald and Dan Kapanke as well as "several other threats from a variety of sources." The agency said it would not confirm anything beyond that. Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, released to the media earlier today a death threat he received via e-mail. UPDATE: 2:28 p.m. -- Here's the text of an e-mail that Sen. Dan Kapanke's office said it received last night. A Kapanke aide said the office is not releasing any identifying information and has forwarded the e-mail to Capitol police. WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN. WE WILL SLIT...

Breaking on Fox News from Mike Tobin at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison. Protesters have trapped GOP lawmakers in their offices shutting down the vote at 11 AM and have threatened violence and are trying to enter their offices.

Obama's Chilling Crew By Andrew WaldenFrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, April 28, 2009 Why is there so little media investigation of the financing behind Barack Obama’s early political sponsor—and now convicted felon—Tony Rezko? The dual US-Syrian citizen Rezko--who assisted Obama in the purchase of his Chicago mansion--was heavily funded by loans from Iraqi-British ex-Baathist billionaire Nadhmi Auchi. According to testimony at Rezko’s trial, Obama met Auchi at an April 3, 2004 event at Rezko’s home during Obama’s 2004 US Senate campaign. The Times of London reports discovering, “state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent...

In Wake Of Muslim Hearings, Rep. King Gets Security UpgradeL.I. Congressman Says Hostile Phone Calls Flooding His Office March 7, 2011 11:00 PM NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Long Island Congressman Peter King is facing threats — and getting extra security. **SNIP** “I’m getting a lot of hostile phone calls now, but the main threats I’m getting are from overseas,” Rep. King said. King said he views his effort in the same vein as 1995 Senate hearings into the white militia movement, which took place right after the Oklahoma City terror bombing. “And they were gathering support, and I thought it...

Even the traditionally liberal Washington Post has figured it out. Yesterday’s headline read: “Ohio, Wisconsin shine spotlight on new union battle: Government workers vs. taxpayers.” Not “middle-class vs. wealthy” or “struggling school teachers vs. billionaire Koch brothers.” No, the real fight is between public servants and the public they allegedly serve. The sentimental story line that unions are “friends of the workin’ man” is unraveling. Typical Americans, including the blue-collar brand, aren’t fans of threats and violence coming from government union mobs. In Wisconsin, it’s Democratic state Rep. Gordon Hintz telling GOP Rep. Michelle Litjens, “You are [expletive] dead” after...

The U.S. Navy was repositioning its heavy-hitting warships around North Africa tonight as America and Britain dramatically increased pressure on Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi. The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, which had been on pirate-hunting duty off the coast of Somalia, has now steamed to the mouth of the Suez Canal in the Red Sea. The deadly strike force aboard the nuclear-powered carrier is already within flying distance of Libya but the Enterprise is said to be heading closer to country and its rogue dictator.

What if you go to use your debit card but find you have a $100 spending limit — even if you have more money in your account? Right now, the idea is a bargaining chip being used by some of the nation's biggest banks, including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The change would have a big impact on shoppers. The average family spends $122 on groceries every week, so a simple trip to the supermarket might in the future require a stop at the ATM. It all goes back to new rules that Congress is considering aimed...

Discovered at Lady Logician’s place, a story of new threats against elected officials in the state of Utah. As usual, somebody seems to be upset over immigration. Two state lawmakers running immigration reform bills were e-mailed perceived death threats over the weekend and Utah Highway Patrol authorities confirmed Monday they are investigating the matter and taking it “very seriously.” Reps. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, and Chris Herrod, R-Provo, were the only two state lawmakers to receive the one-and-a-half page letter, confirmed top state law enforcement officials, who said they were too early in the investigation to determine the severity of the...

Senator “I served in Vietnam” Blumenthal holds his first press conference as a Senator (that didn’t take long) to vow he would fight against HR 3, which would prohibit federal funding of abortion. But instead of letting the subject matter stand on its own and making his position as a “defender of women’s health” … he once again finds the need to embelish. “I’m new to the Senate but I’m not new to this battle,” Blumenthal said at a Capitol Hill news conference, his first since taking office. “Since the days of Roe v. Wade, when I clerked for Justice...

I am in Texas and just logged on to read the headline below in Mediaite.com. This headline is a good chance to discuss an important issue - threats to people in the public eye. As a start, I have no idea about the Palin event or the cancellation but I do know she gets threats...big time. She gets them probably worse and more than anyone but the President. The secret service and FBI do not disclose information about specific threats to people but it is common knowledge about Presidents (and high profile politicians.) Threats are real. We all get them....

The Library and Archives of Canada will hold a February screening of the film "Iranium," an expose of the dangers posed by Iran's nuclear program, despite cancelling a planned screening in January, the film's promoters said Sunday. An exclusive pre-release screening of Iranium, scheduled to take place Tuesday night January 18 at the Library and Archives of Canada (LAC) in Ottawa, was cancelled following complaints and threats, some of which apparently came directly from the Iranian Embassy in Canada.

The offshore bank account details of 2,000 "high net worth individuals" and corporations – detailing massive potential tax evasion – will be handed over to the WikiLeaks organisation in London tomorrow by the most important and boldest whistleblower in Swiss banking history, Rudolf Elmer, two days before he goes on trial in his native Switzerland. British and American individuals and companies are among the offshore clients whose details will be contained on CDs presented to WikiLeaks at the Frontline Club in London. Those involved include, Elmer tells the Observer, "approximately 40 politicians". Elmer, who after his press conference will return...

Neither law enforcement nor the media found Vice-President Joe Biden’s threat to “strangle” political opponents worthy of concern. “Look, this isn’t the first time he’s made such a threat,” Attorney General Eric Holder reminded. “He didn’t strangle anyone before. So these are obviously empty words. In my judgment, it’s more the ranting of a harmless idiot than anything to become alarmed over.” Leftist pundit, Paul Krugman said “it would be a different story if Sarah Palin said she was going to strangle someone. She could actually do it and then field-dress the carcass. But Biden? Please. Everyone knows he’s a...

TUCSON — A victim of the shooting spree here that severely injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was taken into custody on Saturday after the police and witnesses said the man spoke threateningly at a televised forum intended to help this stricken city heal. Eric Fuller, 63, a military veteran who was passionate about liberal causes and who had supported Ms. Giffords, was “involuntarily committed for mental health evaluation,” according to Jason Ogan, a spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff’s office. Mr. Fuller, who was shot in the left knee and the back on Jan. 8, was among several victims, medical personnel...

Palm Springs, Calif., man was arrested on Wednesday on a federal charge that he threatened to kill Rep. James McDermott (D) of Washington because of the congressman’s stance in last month’s debate over whether to extend the Bush tax cuts.

With five bodies barely cold in Arizona after a madman went on a killing rampage yesterday, hateful liberals are screaming for the death of Sarah Palin. Palin, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate in 2008, has been in the limelight since her rise to nation-wide fame. Angry liberals are now blaming her for assassin Jared Loughner's rampage yesterday, and some are even calling for her death. And no, there was not just one insane person on one insane website, but many cases of wackos calling for the death of Sarah Palin. Like this one from a commenter on TMZ: Or this...

the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and the shooting of more than 20 others in Tucson today, fellow Arizona Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva denounced a political environment poisoned by "anger, hatred, and division." In a phone interview with Mother Jones, Grijalva called the assault "horrible and unbelievable and shocking….It's hard to explain and really difficult to comprehend." Grijalva—who was also the recent target of violent threats—went on to blame the polarized political climate for creating an atmosphere that fueled violence: We never entered [politics] believing that we were taking our lives in our hands...we're feeding...

PARIS: French police are investigating threats made against Coptic churches in France in the wake of a deadly attack on one in Egypt, a security source said Monday. The probe was launched after a church official filed a complaint, the source said. Germany's Coptic Christians have also received threats of attack by radical Muslims and asked for protection, a bishop said in a newspaper Sunday. "The internet is full of threats of this kind against us. The police have alerted us several times against attacks by radical Muslims," Coptic Bishop Anba Damian said in a report on Germany’s Bild's online...

Time Magazine offered the deceitful Islamic supremacist pro-Sharia Ground Zero Mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as a candidate for Person of the Year. NBC named Sharif El-Gamal, the thuggish and financially shady Ground Zero Mosque developer, who says that beating people up brings "exercise & stress relief," as its Person of the Year. The deception, the ties to jihad terror groups, the deadbeat financial activity -- none of it matters. The mainstream media wants to make these people into heroes and sell you the Ground Zero mega-mosque, whether you like it or not. Although more and more people are onto...

Nort Corea might carry out another atomic test next year to bolster the status of leader-in-waiting Kim Jong Eun, a Seoul state think tank said Friday, a day after the North threatened a nuclear attack. Tensions remain high on the peninsula a month after the North bombarded a South Korean border island and killed four people, including civilians.

stewart_maximus writes "The TSA is investigating a TSA deputized pilot who posted videos to YouTube pointing out security flaws. Flaws exposed include ground crew clearing security with just a card swipe while pilots have to go through metal detectors, and a 'medieval-looking rescue ax' being available on the flight deck. Three days after posting the video, 6 government officials arrived at his door to question him and confiscated his federal firearm (and his concealed weapon permit)."

Election? What election? "The twelve bills included in this package fulfill the Congress' most basic responsibility, to exercise the power of the purse," he said in a statement. "This measure reflects a year's worth of work by members of both parties. Together, we have closely scrutinized the president's budget request, held hundreds of hearings, thousands of meetings, and asked literally tens of thousands of questions to each and every federal department and agency seeking justification for how taxpayer dollars are being spent." Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, responded in a statement, saying that after neglecting to pass a budget, "today we...

(CNN) -- WikiLeaks has published a secret U.S. diplomatic cable listing locations abroad that the U.S. considers vital to its national security, prompting criticism that the website is inviting terrorist attacks on American interests. The list is part of a lengthy cable the State Department sent in February 2009 to its posts around the world. The cable asked American diplomats to identify key resources, facilities and installations outside the United States "whose loss could critically impact the public health, economic security, and/or national and homeland security of the United States." The diplomats identified dozens of places on every continent, including...

It’s zero hour for the DREAM Act...For two years, Barack Obama failed—or, if you prefer, refused—to nudge along a major immigration bill. The last-ditch hope is that departing Democrats, and a few Republicans, somehow band together in the lame-duck session and pass a law allowing illegal immigrants who came to the United States as minors to gain citizenship. Harry Reid promised to bring up the bill for a Senate cloture vote this week. Republicans vowed to scuttle it... But as Chicago congressman Luis Gutiérrez prepares for a rally at a church in Brooklyn, the DREAM Act seems like the end...

By P.J. Gladnick | November 24, 2010 | 21:20 It seems that whenever you hear about a "rightwing" hate crime nowadays, it turns out the the perpetrator turns out to be a leftwinger...much to the disappointment of liberals who continue to maintain the fiction about a violent Tea Party movement. And the latest case of a violent "rightwinger" who turns out to really be a leftwinger comes from my own county of Broward here in South Florida. With my condolences to the left who have been "robbed" of yet another example of supposed Tea Party "hate crime," here is a...

Court documents filed last week reveal Islamic extremists have obtained personal contact information on members of the defiant Facebook group "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." Zachary Chesser, who provided the information, pled guilty to "communicating threats" and renounced jihad, but the damage was done. Prosecutors say he "seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come."This lasting effect makes it all the more frustrating that authorities did not charge him sooner. He had made very similar threats against the producers of South Park weeks before. The case highlights the urgent need for better...

From HorsesAss.org (a left-wing blog/ranting site for leftists in Seattle, run by David Goldstein, local Marxist and sometimes-radio-show host: Our Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment in there for a reason, and that was to enable the People to protect themselves against tyranny. In fact, it was Thomas Jefferson who said that it’s good for a country to have a revolution every twenty years. I hope that’s not where we’re going, but, you know, if the Republicans take our nation the way they promise to take it, my fellow patriots on the left are going to start looking toward those...

Bill Clinton sought to persuade Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race for Senate during a trip to Florida last week — and nearly succeeded. Meek agreed — twice — to drop out and endorse Gov. Charlie Crist’s independent bid in a last-ditch effort to stop Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee who stands on the cusp of national stardom. Meek, a staunch Clinton ally from Miami, has failed to broaden his appeal around the state and is mired in third place in most public polls, with a survey today showing him with just 15 percent of the vote....

GREECE, NEW YORK--A Greece man loaded his car with a shotgun, hunting knives, a flare gun, baseball bat and handcuffs and set off en route to Washington, D.C., with plans to engage law enforcement and possibly kill former Vice President Dick Cheney, according to the Secret Service. The Secret Service detained the man, Ian Rotunno, on Oct. 7 and this week charged him with threats against a former president. Rotunno told Secret Service agents that, as well as planning to kill Cheney, he intended to go to the Texas ranch of former President George W. Bush and murder him also,...

In a video that quickly circulated around the internet, a CBS affiliate correspondent in Chicago can be shouting down a WIND radio talk show host as he tried to ask hard-hitting questions of former White House chief of staff and current mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel. Now, Chicago Police say that CBS2â€˛s Jay Levine must be held responsible for threatening the radio host with physical assault and have reportedly issued a warrant for his arrest.

It was a startling breach of security when the now-infamous shoe thrower got as close to President Bush as he did. Equally sobering was Sajid Ali Khan‘s “daring, courageous, lunatic” book plugging on Sunday. While the image of something nearly sailing over an oblivious Obama’s head arouses immature giggling in some (read: me), we certainly should take these incidents seriously and protect public officials at all costs. Most people harbor no ill intentions, but it only takes one deranged person to inflict maximum harm—and they only have to be successful once. Sarah Palin has received her share of threats from...
